Introduction

If you’re seeking a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert that brings a touch of autumn to your table, Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies are the answer. With a buttery, chewy base and a fragrant cinnamon sugar topping, these blondies are the ultimate sweet fall treat. Their simple preparation and irresistible flavor make them perfect for festive gatherings, potlucks, or a cozy night in.

Deliciously Unique Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

What sets these blondies apart is their cinnamon-laced batter, crowned with a crackly sugar topping that infuses each bite with warmth and sweetness. Unlike traditional brownies, these blondies skip the chocolate but gain a signature fall flair from brown sugar and cinnamon. Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or packed in a lunchbox, their tender crumb and nostalgic flavors make them a guaranteed seasonal favorite.

Crafting the Perfect Cinnamon Sugar Topping

The secret to these blondies’ signature texture is a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking. For optimal distribution, blend ground cinnamon and sugar well, then apply an even layer over the blondie batter. As the blondies bake, the topping caramelizes, creating a delicate, crackled crust that perfectly complements the soft, buttery interior.

Baking and Serving Your Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

Simply spread the blondie batter evenly in a prepared pan, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar topping, and bake until golden and set. Allow them to cool before slicing into bars to enjoy their classic shape and neat edges. These blondies are delicious on their own or paired with a mug of hot cider or coffee for a true fall treat.
